Thinking about huge balls -w- big enough to make doors inconvenient.

Rosemary has a habit of having weird thoughts before bed and writing them down on our phone's notepad thing for me to see next time I check it. This one was "Do grocers groce?"

hmm

sometime we should really make an effort to learn to read hangeul. it's a beautifully simple writing system.

Just learned that there's a theory (which is about as well supported as any theory involving pre-indo-european languages in europe, which is to say, not much but there's no strong evidence against it either) that the celtic language family has an afro-asiatic substrate

that's an interesting thought. There are a weird number of grammatical similarities between celtic and afro-asiatic languages, and there are plausible explanations for how it got there, so it isn't that far-fetched

time is weird.

@starkatt so uh, I've seen you post things about outer wilds a bunch and I'm kind of curious what it is? I keep thinking it's that upcoming game that's supposed to be like fallout but that's not out yet, right?

@catoutofbed@octodon.social I like how your name shows up in notifications.

just saw an old thing probably from the 50s or 60s talking about how "the controversial "air-bag" is likely to become compulsory in automobiles" and it just baffles me to think that airbags were ever controversial but I guess I can see why, putting explosives in the steering wheel does sound a bit scary

nitrogen!

bad idea: put a space heater and a portable air conditioner next to each other, turn both on, and see which one wins

today we learned: they make (or made) 12 μAh rechargeable lithium cells in little DFN packages

I can't really see much use for this but the package choice is interesting. capacity leaves a lot to be desired though

(if you're wondering if you count among that "all of you" the answer is yes)

there are a bunch of people on here I don't talk to much but I do appreciate all of you and you're good

I don't know what to do about this problem because this apartment won't fit another bookshelf

we have too many books and video games, they don't fit on the bookshelf

It's a perfectly valid transliteration and probably does a bit better a job of showing how it's pronounced than Mendeleev does, as long as you treat the j as /j/ and not /dʒ/, but it's just amusing that it basically could be shortened to Jeff. You know, Jeff, the periodic table guy.

Apparently, one of the first English reports of Mendeleev's periodic table transliterated his name as Mendelejeff.
